THE JACKAL AND THE SUN CHILD

豺狼与太阳宝宝

A jackal is a wild dog with a big black back. It resides in the desert. But how did the jackal get his black back? This was how it happened.

豺狼是一种野生的狗，背部有一大块黑色印记。它们出没在沙漠中。但它们背部的黑色印记是怎么回事呢？下面我们来讲讲这个故事。

One day, the jackal saw a girl. She was sitting upon a rock. She was not a normal child. She was a rare and beautiful sun child. She was bright and warm like the sun. The child saw the jackal and smiled.

有一天，豺狼看到一个小女孩坐在一块石头上。但这不是普通人家的孩子，她是太阳之子，很少见也很漂亮。她就像太阳那样明亮和温暖。女孩看到了豺狼并朝它笑了笑。

She said, "Jackal, I have been relaxing on this rock for too long. I must get home soon. But, I am slow and you are fast. You will likely get me home more quickly." Then sherequested, "Will you carry me home? If you do, I'll give you a gift. This necklacebelongs to me, but I will give it to you."

她说道：“豺狼啊，我在这休息太久了，我得赶快回到家去。但我自己走得很慢，而你跑得快。你可以很快把我送回家区。”她又请求道：“你可以背我回家吗？如果你愿意，我会送你一件礼物，我把我的项链作为礼物送给你。”

The wild jackal agreed. So the sun child sat on the dog's back. They started to walk. But soon, the jackal felt ill. The sun child was very hot on his back. The heat was hurting his back very badly. "I made a terrible error in judgment." he thought. He shouldn't have agreed to carry her. So he asked her to get off.

豺狼答应了她的请求。它驮着小女孩开始往家走。但没过多久，它就觉得难受起来。它背上的太阳之子浑身灼热，它的背部被小女孩散发出的热量灼伤了。“我做了个错误的决定，”它心想。真不该答应她的。所以它开始反悔了，让小女孩从它背上下来。

But she did not. The jackal's back continued to get hotter and hotter. He had to get away from the sun child. So he made a plan. First, he ran as fast as he could. He hoped the sun child would fall off. But she did not. So when the sun child was looking at the sky, not aware of the jackal's next plan, he jumped into a field of flowers. As a result, the child rolled off his back. The jackal ran away.

但小女孩不愿意下来。豺狼的背部越来越热，它必须想办法摆脱小女孩。所以它想了个计划。首先，它用尽全力奔跑，希望能把女孩抖落下来。但是失败了。所以当女孩看着天空没留意到豺狼的第二计划时，豺狼跳进了一片花海中，终于把小女孩摔了下来。豺狼一溜烟逃跑了。

But the sun child left a mark on the jackal's back, a visible black mark. Ever since hisexperience with the sun child, the jackal has had a black back.

但小女孩在它背部留下了一个明显的黑色印记。从那以后，豺狼背上就有了那块黑色印记。
